== Overview ==
'''The Hive''' is a Trial zone in CoH.  A hero needs to be at least level 45 to enter.

The Hive is perhaps one of the most dangerous areas in all of [[Paragon City]]. It lies deep within the wild untamed regions of [[Eden]] and contains many forces of the [[Devouring Earth]]. Few Heroes have ever ventured in without being defeated, and none have explored the Hive in full. It is strongly recommended that Heroes venturing into the Hive be fully prepared and travel in as large a group as possible. In addition, only those with superior tactics will have a chance of success in this deadly complex.

== Transfer Points ==

There is only one entrance to The Hive. In [[Eden]] there is a gate in extremely poor repair along the northern half of the far east wall (marked on the in-game map as a red locator).

== Notes ==
* This zone has been in the game for [[Hero|Heroes]] since [[Issue 0]].
* The zone's level range was originally 36-40. This was changed in [[Issue 1]] to 45-50.
* The northwest corner is where [[Portal Corporation]] once had their main facility. It has since been abandoned, and is relatively free of the [[Devouring Earth]] monsters that patrol the zone.

== Villain Groups ==

The Hive is completely under control of the [[Devouring Earth]]. At its center, you can find [[Hamidon]], surrounded by its mitochondria. [[Devouring Earth#Thorn|Thorn]], [[Devouring Earth#Stropharia|Stropharia]], [[Devouring Earth#Lattice|Lattice]], and [[Devouring Earth#Quarry|Quarry]] monsters roam through out the zone, while [[Devouring Earth#Devouring Swarm|Devouring Swarms]] patrol the skies.
